the civil rights act well enforced. jimmy carter's election allowed people to participate at the convention, the democratic national convention in measures they had not previously been involved with. he carried a number of states in the south, and as a result was identified as a southerner. he ran against the tide. the tide in that instance was inflation and high cost of living as was occasion in the white house at the time. he ran against what i would also call watergate. it would have been hard for someone not to be elected running against that scenario. gerald ford was a decent man an a good man, but he was still wearing the mantle of watergate. so it was not surprising to me that carter won. and when he was running again, he was running against the problems of inflation. and i misquoted that. he had involved himself with the hostile situation in iran, the high cost of gas leap, gasoline, people standing in line since gasoline was rationed and things like that. and yet that was the first real identification of the so

his call of a civil rights activist of the 1860s. he pursued this dissertation and subject despite being told at the time by leading scholars it was simply impossible to do this kind of work because his sources did not exist. at the time some scholars held mcpherson's work as both important and timely. evidence, one wrote, at the beginning of a revolution still in progress. his effort to draw more attention to black people and the struggle for union and freedom to the role of abolit n abolitionist slaves and soldiers drew visceral reactions of the kind that greeted such scholars as dubois and others. a review of civil war and historical georgia quarterly accused mcpherson of taking a leaf out of a book and arguing that black people, slaves in particular, were restless during the civil war. whenever they got a chance to run away they did so and joined the labor force of the union armies. further the reviewer wrote mcpherson made the, quote, extreme statement that perhaps the war could not have been won without the help of the negroes.

i said i thought part of the civil rights act violates american's right to association. most of the civil rights act is banning discrimination by government. that is good, but i think the parts that ban private discrimination went too far. so i said this. >> private businesses ought to discriminate. i won't go to a place that is racist and i'll speak against them, but it should be their right to be racist. >> for that they demand i be fired, but think about it, i condemned racism. i said i would boycott a racist business, but my heresay was to agree with rand paul when he said on a show, part of the civil rights act went too far. then it does go too far. a black student association and the korean grocer's association should have right to exclude non-blacks or non-koreans. government must not discriminate but private individuals should be able to associate with whom they choose. activists hot left demand that i be fired. they don't want such ideas even heard. i supposed i should be grateful they don't want me killed. some places, that is the norm as we heard tonight. >> i

the freedom riders were the new civil rights. and jim was part of that new era that defined abolitionism and became a much broader struggle for equality, for racial equality, and i'm more inclined to think of abolitionism as a movement designed to abolish slavery, with relationships to the question of civil rights. but fundamentally forming it towards that particular moment. for jim then the logical conclusion of the abolitionist movement, the abolitionist legacy as the second volume of the study of abolitionism is the founding of the naacp. whereas for me it would probably be the end of the logical conclusion of abolitionism would be the 13th amendment. but i think all of that difference between where he comes from and where i come from would shape the way we think about the civil war, particularly origins of the civil war. that generation of the '60s and all the scholarship on abolitionism since then reversed a trend that had been going on since the '30s through the 1950s to focus -- to find the anti-slavery origins of the civi
